Whereas The Book Thief, (which I also read the book), followed the book very well.

But Zookeeper's Wife was a much more faceted book than The Book Thief, which was actually written for teens & pre-teens.
A Dog's Purpose the movie skips over some of the heartbreaking parts and adds another one I seem to remember. A lot of the stories are in both the movie and the book.

The book was much better than the movie and I am not sure how accurate the abuse accusation of the dog really is. The sides say different things.
